Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how immune responses in mice fight against the Eimeria falciformis parasite to understand how protection works.
- Mice that had immune lymph node cells transferred from immune donors showed a significant reduction in parasite output after being challenged, demonstrating the effectiveness of the immune response.
- Key findings included an increase in specific T cells and the important role of IFN-gamma in mounting resistance to infection, with CD8+ cells being particularly effective against the parasite, while CD4+ cells did not impact reinfection resistance.
